EurOtop, European Overtopping Manual - Wave overtopping of sea defences and related structures: Assessment manual

The manual has been intended to assist engineers who are already aware of the general principles and methods of coastal engineering. The manual uses methods and data from research studies around Europe and overseas so readers are expected to be familiar with wave and response parameters and the use of empirical equations for prediction. Users...

Report on hazard analysis

Prediction of wave overtopping discharges for seawalls / breakwaters have improved significantly over the last 25 years, but processes associated with overtopping hazards to people on or close behind seawalls are not yet well understood. Despite research advances in recent years, there remain important gaps in knowledge and disagreements over...

Final report on laboratory measurements Samphire Hoe

Following this introductory section, Chapter 2 discusses the Samphire Hoe field measurements and results, Chapter 3 the design and operation of the laboratory measurements and the results are described in Chapter 4. Finally in Chapter 5 the data are compared and the principal conclusions are given.

Reservoir dams: Wave conditions, wave overtopping and slab protection

This report describes research to simplify and consolidate the prediction of wave action in reservoirs; to calculate wave induced discharges on embankments; and to extend work on blockwork and slabbing protection for dam faces presented by Herbert et.al (1995) in the companion report SR 345. The report should be used by engineers involved in the...
